Being annoyed at DH for constantly referring to our 3 year olds erections?

Whenever my ds gets an erection dh says something like "oooh you could have someone's eye out with that" or similar. Ds looks slightly confused and I think it's too soon to be drawing attention to things like that.
AIBU to try and stop my DH for saying these things? Don't want ds to start feeling ashamed...

Genuinely sorry about what Dad did to you Flowers

Its difficult to justify a view that is saying we all have different ways of parenting - and then blatantly telling others they are wrong.

But why on earth would you encourage a baby to start feeling self-conscious about her body???

Exactly Laguna.

My two boys didn't endlessly delight over their erections. They had them but we neither laughed nor studiously ignored. They and we wear what we like in our own homes because there is nothing shameful about our bodies.
Mine isn't quite what it used to be but it made three children so I figure I'm allowed to go from the bedroom to the bathroom naked if I can't be arsed to put something on.
So far no one has died.

Agree Pag. DH has been very discrete in front of the DDs for years, but I'm still happy to wander around, without a stitch on.

Better to present them with a realistic view of a woman's body, than the perfected, airbrushed bodies they see in the media...
